Year 5

Message from class teacher

Welcome to the Year 5 Class with Mrs Pattison and Mrs Wimbury. Mrs Pattison is the Deputy Head and teaches the class all week apart from Friday when Mr Gargan takes over. Mrs Wimbury is our Teaching Assistant. In Year 5 our work is split into three topics. In Autumn Term we learn all about the Victorians, in Spring Term we study Rivers, and in Summer Term we learn all about the Ancient Greeks.

Facts about the teacher

Our work will link, as much as possible, to the topics we study during each term, so that the children can make stronger and more memorable links in their learning. In Upper Key Stage 2 we not only work very hard, but we also have lots of fun in the process!

In the Autumn term, the topic is the Victorians. Certain subjects will be linked to it, for example texts in Literacy and the work we produce in Art. Also, they will learn about digital literacy.

In French the pupils will be learning to talk about other countries and in RE they will be learning about Sikhism.

Throughout the Spring term the topic is Rivers and certain subjects will be linked to it. For example, children will be investigating rivers within Geography. Also, they will use ICT to evaluate information. During this term, the children will visit Robinwood.

Other areas of the curriculum will be Art, D.T, R.E. and French. The pupils will have swimming lessons this term.

During the Summer term the topic is the Ancient Greeks and certain subjects will be linked to it. Also, the pupils will use ICT to monitor the environment around them and learn about Digital Literacy.

Other areas of the curriculum will be P.E which will be cricket, athletics and Bikeability. We will also be doing a lot of computing and digital literacy work.
